Feb 20, 2019 | Baby, Big Shot, Cards, class |
In my monthly card class – Quick & Cute Cards – I try to always have an option for a baby card – with both a blue and a pink option. I guess maybe I need a neutral option too. Do people still wait for the surprise to find out at the birth if it is a boy or a girl? My oldest is 27 years old and we waited until he was born so it was a surprise. But my two younger ones we knew before they were born that they would be boys. I wonder what young parents are doing these days. Anyway I thought I’d share with you the card that I currently have in my card class.
I love the Little Elephant stamp set in the Annual Catalog. It comes as a bundle with the Elephant Builder punch – that’s a 10% savings! For these baby cards I paired the bundle with the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper and the coordinating Baker’s Twine. You could easily switch the Pool Party and the Petal Pink and use the Soft Sea Foam print that comes in the paper pack for a neutral gender card. Pair that one with the silver and white Baker’s Twine instead of the colored ones that I used on these cards.

Jan 30, 2019 | 2019 Occasions Catalog, Big Shot, Designer Series Paper, Scrapbook Pages, Stamper's Club |
Earlier in 2018 I added some memory keeping back into my Stampin’ Up! business. I used to have a regular monthly scrapbook class but had gotten away from it and I missed it. So I decided to add a scrapbook page to my monthly stamp club. Each month we make one 12″ x 12″ scrapbook page in our monthly meeting. It’s ready to just add photos. Everyone has been enjoying the pages. So now I’m trying to start regular Facebook Live videos and plan to include a scrapbook page once a month. For January I decided to take the page for stamp club and create a second page to go with it. Be sure you watch my Facebook Live video from Sunday, Jan 27th and you can see both of these pages.
Watch the video here – Facebook Live Jan. 27th.
The January 2019 Stamper’s Club scrapbook layout is a New Year’s celebration layout – Gold Foil, Basic Black, Whisper White, and Basic Gray are the colors I used. Watch the video to see the trick on getting the Baker’s Twine added, the little flowers added, as well as some tips on the numbers and the detailed word dies. Below is a list of supplies that I used.
Supply List
- #147003 Neutrals 12×12 card stock (Basic Gray)
- #100730 Whisper White card stock
- #121045 Basic Black card stock
- #146277 Broadway Bound Specialty Designer Series Paper

- #101406 Jet Black Stazon ink
- #143263 Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine
Cut strips of Designer Paper to 2-1/4″ x 9″, and also cut a strip of white. Then center four strips on each piece of Basic Gray card stock. Use the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine to cut the Black rectangles wit the new Rectangle Stitched dies – don’t miss them in the Occasions catalog on page 28 – these are the photo mats. It’s hard to see the stitching in these photos.
The “hooray” is from the Well Said Bundle. Use the Adhesive Sheets for detailed words like this. Add the adhesive sheet to the foil sheet before running through the Big Shot. Next remove the backing and attach to your page. The Well Written die set will be a great for all kinds of paper crafts – it has so many words and you can combine with the stamps for endless possibilities. Try cutting words apart and combine different letters or parts of the words – I checked and almost the whole alphabet is included in these words.

Jan 25, 2019 | 2019 Occasions Catalog, Big Shot, Cards, Valentine's Day |
The last project from the Made with Love class was a Valentine’s Day card featuring the Meant to Be Bundle. Included in the bundle is the Meant to Be stamp set and the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies. When you see this set of dies in real life it is a huge difference from seeing them in the catalog – it makes a ton of different hearts. There are so many possibilities with this die set. There are a total of 16 different dies including two stitching dies to add stitching to a background or the cut out dies. You are going to want to order this set of dies – just look at the tons of different hearts you can get from it!
If you would like to see all the projects from the Made to Love class watch my FB live video from Jan. 21, 2019. You can see it here. Today I’m sharing more details about the Valentine’s Day card.
Happy Valentine’s Day
I used a 4″ square piece of the All My Love Designer Series paper and cut off a 1″ strip to give me two pieces. One was for the front of the card and one was for the inside of the card. Adhere both pieces to a layer of Whisper White card stock. Use the 3″ piece on the top for the front of the card. Add the 1″ piece (using the opposite side) to the bottom for the inside of the card. Next on the front layer stamp the sentiment in Crumb Cake ink – I used Happy Valentine’s Day, but there are others in the set that you could use.
Cut a long piece of Linen Thread – about 36″ – and wrap it around the layer 3 times and tie in a knot. After that add the Balmy Blue scalloped heart on the Linen Thread before tying a bow. Then to anchor the bottom of that large heart I added the small scalloped heart (cut from Lovely Lipstick card stock) with mini dimensionals. Be sure to watch my video you will see exactly how I did this.

Jan 23, 2019 | 2019 Occasions Catalog, Big Shot, Boxes, Designer Series Paper, Valentine's Day |
At the Made to Love class Heather showed us how to make these mini Red Velvet Bundt cakes. And they are just the perfect size to fit inside the little Baker’s Box. These are a carry over item from the Holiday Catalog. She filled the pans and put the cakes in the oven, and then showed us the truffles (I posted those yesterday). Then everyone came into my studio and I showed them all the stamping projects. When they finished all their stamping they decorated their cake and put it inside the box.
I showed everything we made on a FB live video on Jan. 21, 2019. You can see it here. Here are some more details about the Baker’s Box project for the mini cakes.
I cut 2″ wide strips of the All My Love Designer Series paper and a 2″ x 4″ long piece of Crumb Cake card stock. The strip of the Designer paper won’t quite fit all the way around the box to create the belly band. So I used the Crumb Cake piece to bridge the gap in the back. Glue the designer paper to the card stock, then you can slide the band on and off to get inside the box. If you watch my video you can see what I’m talking about. Then decorate the front – I used the hearts from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies and the Braided Linen Trim. The stamp set in this photo is Label Me Pretty but some of the girls used the Meant to Be set instead.
Supply List
- #150587 Meant to Be Bundle = stamp set + framelits
- #148576 All My Love Designer Series paper
- #147899 Baker’s Boxes
- #147808 Braided Linen Trim
- #148578 All My Love Card stock pack (use Crumb Cake & Lovely Lipstick)
- #147116 Crumb Cake Classic Stampin’ Pad
- #100730 Whisper White card stock
- #146927 Share What You Love Artisan Pearls
- #143715 Pretty Label Punch
- #138995 Tear & Tape
- #143861 Label Me Pretty Stamp set (optional)
I told everyone to choose the greeting based on who they would be giving it too. So everyone had several choices. The little bitty hearts come from inside the decorative heart die cut piece.
Yum! I hope you enjoyed this project. If you’d like to order any of these Stampin’ Up! products to make your own Valentine treats please see my link below.

Dec 22, 2018 | 2018 Holiday Catalog, Big Shot, Christmas, class |
Did you know you can make plaid deer? Use the Buffalo Check background stamp. And good news – it’s one of the stamp sets that will be carrying over from the Holiday catalog into the new year. Yay! Check out these quick little treats…
I folded some card stock – measure the bottom to fit the width of what you are putting inside and add a flap at the top to fold over the front. I punched two holes and tied the braided linen thread through. The top flap has been stamped with Buffalo Plaid stamp and so have the deer die cuts. Aren’t they cute? Even though it looks like black I actually used Basic Gray for all of the stamping.
Supply List
- Buffalo Check stamp
- Detailed Deer Thinlits Dies
- Christmas Pines stamp set
- Thick Whisper White Card Stock
- Real Red card stock
- Basic Gray ink
- Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker
- Basic Gray Stampin’ Write Marker
- Metallic Pearls
- Braided Linen Trim
- 1/8″ Handheld punch
- Stampin’ Trimmer
- Stamparatus
- Big Shot Die Cut Machine
In case you are wondering what is inside mine – well it’s Walker’s Shortbread Fingers. They are packaged in a plaid wrapper and coordinated perfectly with this project. I was able to find some at Tuesday Morning.
Merry Christmas to You!
